    “Noting that some of the records included data that could be used to determine where a call was made or text message sent”

    Data breaches in surveillance capitalism. Very cool, very normal.

      As long as computers are networked, there will always be data breaches. Doesn’t matter what form of gov’t or economy you live under.

            Yes but that’s far less impactful of a breach than “we’ve actively surveilled and recorded all movements and actions of our customers for decade, stored it all haphazardly, and now someone else got it without paying for it like we normally arrange”
